Today we are about to introduce this fabulous computer keyboard scanner from KeyScan.

It’s basically a normal computer keyboard integrated with a build-in colour document scanner at back.

This is pretty convenient for a busy office environment, you don’t need to move your butt to operate your old big heavy scanner but just sit and scan documents with your computer keyboard. Some people will love it a lot definitely as it’ll be the right item for some jobs like service desk, register, etc. With us$114.99, you can buy one from Amazon.com.

Though it’s multi-functional and integrated with a document scanner that can scan “2″x3″ smooth surface plastic cards up to 1mm thickness such as driver licenses, health insurance and ID cards”, it still looks not as thick as you may think. The following photo tells everything.

Physical Keyboard and Windows XP on the Phone – xpPhone

September 18th, 2009 - 

Every day we see tons of new products like this launched that reminds what an instant world of today we are living.

A sliding QWERTY computer keyboard, Windows XP, a netbook? No, it’s a mobile phone! But it’s more likely to define as a UMPC.

This mobile device called xpPhone was introduced to us as ITG launched its new official webpage.

It just seems too powerful to be true as it would be released with a slider keyboard, 4.8-inch touchscreen, GPS, an unspecified AMD Super Mobile CPU, a wide range of SSD and HDD selections, 512MB-1GB RAM, WiFi 802.11b/g, Bluetooth, and most importantly runs a full-blown copy of Windows XP!

What I can say is that the mobile spec is insane if it’s proved to be true, it’ll be the most powerful mobile in the market.

As you may notice on their website, it’ll be able to pre-order one of these beasts online with an unknown price.

A physical keyboard on iPhone – iTwinge

physical keyboard on iPhone - iTwinge

No keyboard but touchscreen, that’s how Apple designed iPhone. If you are an iPhone fan, you may never think that one day the way you use iPhone could be like use a blackberry. But this small little thing called iTwinge gives it the availability to put a physical keyboard on iPhone and use it like a blackberry.

Though it’s a good idea and very handy to type with a typical QWERTY for long emails/text/blogs, it has some design defects such like power consumption directly from iPhone,  wouldn’t be able to use when flip the iPhone over, too fat to be a attachment, etc.

According to the manufacturer, it can improve the typing speed by 30% -40% and also reduce the typing errors by 70% -80% for a common user.

Anyway, a good try to attach physical keyboard to iPhone to make it easier to type on it for some people. With US$29.99, you can get one from mobilemechatronics.com.

It’s said to be launched in this Oct according to the official announcement from Asustek, so soon we’ll be able to grab one with a possible price around US$400-US$500(AU$480-AU$600).

I don’t expect to use it solely as the LCD display is just too small for daily use, probably you would need to get a separate LCD monitor to use along with it.
